[posted playlist] Adam 12's final show on WFNX

It's been five days since ADAM 12's final broadcast last week on WFNX 101.7 FM, the result of the sale of the alt-rock station's FM frequency to Clear Channel, and people both online and IRL are still talking about it. Most likely a result of people constantly asking him what he played -- he's probably gotten a bunch of questions like "Hey, what was that awesome song you spun at 4pm?!?!"' -- this afternoon the on-air host posted his entire five-hour playlist. And it's a doozy, ranging from hardcore to folk, retro to modern, and from Boston and beyond.

"It was a freeform experience," Adam 12 told me over the weekend for an FNX feature set to run in Thursday's Boston Phoenix. "It was very rewarding, it was very positive, and people responded to it. I had a small stack of songs I brought into the studio with me, and over five hours I played this and that, but if something else felt right I played that instead."

After Thursday's broadcast, much was made of his last three selections -- Death Cab For Cutie's "I Will Follow You Into The Dark," Bob Dylan's "The Times They Are A-Changin,'" and Buffalo Tom's "Taillights Fade" -- which didn't leave a dry eye in the house.

“The last three songs found me,” he said. “I had no intention of going that route, but those three bubbled to the surface, and I felt they represented the overall WFNX experience. Death Cab was the new 'FNX, Dylan — that was so fucking apropos of the time, and for the old guard of 'FNX, where you’d hear the Cure into Bob Dylan in the '80s. And Buffalo Tom, 'Taillights Fade,' it’s a song I hear and immediately think of the radio station. There’s a lot of personal history there as well.”
